Wednesday‚ 6 November 2013 Dear Mr Prime Minister Tony Abbott‚ I am writing to express my concern over inadequate preservation of biodiversity. Biodiversity is the variety of plant and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat‚ a high level of which is usually considered to be important and desirable. According to Tim Flannery‚ between 1995 and 2008‚ the number of small mammals in Kakadu National Park declined by 75% and one third of the species that were recorded in 1995 can no longer

iPod? Lab Purpose: Standardized Tests The purpose of testing the organic nutrients (vegetable oil‚ glucose‚ starch‚ powdered egg white) with each of the different indicators (brown paper towel‚ benedicts‚ iodine‚ biurets) was to determine the color it would turn with positive traces of the nutrient. The purpose of testing just the Distilled H2O was to determine the color it would turn with negative traces.

Kingdom Protista Protist: Eukaryotic organisms (usually unicellular) that is not a fungus‚ plant or animal * 90% are unicellular organisms * Split based on locomotion * The kingdom divides into three main sections being: animal-like‚ plant-like and fungus-like. Then they are split based on their form of locomotion. * They live in moist environments -> aquatic environments or blood. * Even though they are single-celled‚ they are MUCH larger than Archae and bacteria (refer

Biology: Unit 1: Diversity Of Life Fungi Fungi: are multi-cellular heterotrophs that use external digestion‚ and often grow out of sight‚ underground → fungi have nothing in common with plants other then the fact that they are stationary‚ and grow in the ground. They are not photosynthetic‚ and they do not produce their own food. Characteristics/ Cell Structure: * Mesh like bodies‚ composed of branching networks of filaments called mycelium * Mycelium: a branched mass of hyphae

laboratory reading for the experiment stated that lichens are instrumental in the development and needs for all species. The text stated‚ “Lichens play a part in the creation of soils from which plants can obtain nutrients. Like all living organisms‚ lichens need nutrients and energy to grow. Nutrients may be obtained from the air including dust‚ water‚ and from the substrate organisms grows on obtaining energy through photosynthesis‚ which is the role of the algal partner. They may also be incidentally

oxygen cycle. The cycle where oxygen is used‚ broken apart by animals. It is then restored to the globe when it is remade in the respiration cycle of plants. Micronutrient and Macronutrients interact or move along with theses cycles‚ supplying nourishment to the plants and animals that rely on these cycles for their very life. Both of the nutrients are necessary for health and life‚ but each one has a varied role. Micronutrients such as vitamins C and B‚1‚2‚3‚4‚5‚6‚ and 12‚ and the minerals such

decomposition chamber‚ and terrestrial chamber. The aquatic chamber contains water and an aquatic plant‚ and it is at the bottom of the eco-column. The decomposition chamber contains items that will work as decomposers and as a possible catalyst for plant growth. Examples of possible things to add to the decomposition chamber are leaves and compost. Lastly‚ the terrestrial chamber contains a small plant or seed as well as soil and/or fertilizer or mulch. The purpose of our making the eco-columns

Germination is the process by which a plant grows from a seed. The most common example of germination is the sprouting of a seedling from a seed of an angiosperm or gymnosperm. However the growth of a sporeling from a spore‚ for example the growth of hyphae from fungal spores‚ is also germination. In a more general sense‚ germination can be simply anything expanding into greater being from a small existence or germ‚ a method that is commonly used by many seed germination projects. Seed germination

If you were of the opinion that cultivated plants and domesticated animals is what wildlife consists of‚ you are mistaken. Wildlife‚ in fact‚ comprises of the innumerous varieties of wild plants‚ animals‚ fungi and microorganisms that exist on our planet earth‚ rather than just cultivated plants and domesticated animals. Knowingly or unknowingly‚ we largely depend on this wildlife for every elementary requirement in our life. The food we eat‚ the clothes we wear‚ the medicines we consume‚ a variety
